I finally broke down and bought an Optima battery an, given the balmy weather last week, installed it. Followed the Harold & Nancy Method and installed it upright, because I hate cutting anything substantial and did not want to cut off the top posts of the battery. I want to make a battery Cover like H&N's. I cannot raise them, so does anyone have an idea of a malleable material out of which I could build a cover that would go over the posts and then swoop down so the driver's seat could rotate, all while looking like it was made for the space. I thought of screen with fiberglass over it. And then what? Light brown fleece? Carpet won't conform enough. I don't think I have sufficient metal forming tools. Outside of a propane torch, I don't have anything that would melt plastic to form it, so I am stuck. I would like this to be hardy, because I will likely take it off and put it on more times than one. Thanks Jonathan R.
